But later, after reviewing testimony from the officer who survived the early morning ordeal and reading stacks of medical records detailing Crocker`s long- standing battle with drug addiction, Villalobos changed his mind.

Villalobos decided the cocaine Crocker injected had induced a state of toxic psychosis, rendering the man legally insane for a period of one to two hours.

``Someone who kidnaps a police officer and takes him in a car is not exercising proper judgment,`` Villalobos testified. ``I don`t have any doubts that he was insane at the beginning.``

The psychiatrist said Crocker gradually became more rational as the cocaine effects wore off.
